> Fossil fuel dependence is no longer just a climate risk. It is a security, inflation, food-system and political-stability risk.
[The climate impacts are bad enough.](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_SummaryForPolicymakers.pdf) What steps are you personally taking to become less dependent on fossil fuels? What do you most recommend? What resources could help us all become less dependent?
Are you advocating [policy changes](https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html)? Having one less child [dwarfs the impact of not eating animal products](https://scx2.b-cdn.net/gfx/news/hires/2017/themosteffec.jpg). And [policy changes dwarf the impact of having one less child](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19710653/Screen_Shot_2020_02_10_at_3.47.40_PM.png).
Literally the only good thing coming out of the Iran war will be a massive push to renewable and battery based power. So that’s nice.
There is no need/value in fossil fuel phaseout talks.
Just provide cheaper more convenient non-fossil fuel alternatives and the rest will follow.
What makes this moment interesting is that the conversation has shifted from “is a transition happening?” to “who controls the economic upside of the transition.”
A lot of governments and corporations now accept some level of fossil reduction is inevitable long-term, but the real conflict is about timelines, energy security, industrial competitiveness, and who absorbs the short-term economic pain.
The sooner most countries are not dependent on oil the better. We’ll probably always ’need‘ it at some low level capacity, but certainly being removed from absolutely needing it for society to function would be the best outcome for every country. Causes way too much friction.
